Very interesting - thanks for sharing the pics!

Like Neil said, great job - what better way to insure you're getting the results you want, than going back and checking like that. You've learned more that 100 hours of reading forum posts, and able to get real feedback on your process, with your own eyes.

So, time well spent.

In my opinion the 1184 would have been alright, PROBABLY..... one or two blobs look threatening. Interesting how much thickness remains in places of the parting surfaces of the case, where other places it's squeezed out completely - the mag cases obviously need the sealant a lot more than the aluminum ones.

The 1211 looks like it was a bit much, with the squeeze-out to the inside of #8 - I went lighter and concentrate it to the outside.

The 574 still leaves me conflicted. It looks like it squeezed out well enough that main clearances wouldn't have been affected (much"), are you able to judge that at all? Opinion seems to be split, even among experienced builders. The factory says "no".... If I had a mag case motor I'd be tempted.
